Why do homosexuals keep missing the part of The Bible where it states: Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin. -Leviticus 18:22

Okay, let me just say, if you're a bigot at least get your facts straight, I mean the rest of you obviously is. The direct literal translation for the parable you're speaking of, Leviticus 18:22, is this "And with a male you shall not lay lyings of a woman" Originally it looks like this; V’et zachar lo tishkav mishk’vey eeshah toeyvah hee, so you can see that maybe your translation of "homos are bad", from this, makes people a little confused. If your redneck parents or whoever is teaching you to bible bash actually read the bible, maybe you'd realize that your version of the bible is actually from the Jewish Torah, and a lot of the messages have been drastically skewed. The truth is, it's a book written by a lot of people who have felt a lot of different ways about things and a lot of people put a personal bias on things, as you just did. So if you're going to listen to God, then listen to God, if you're going to take literal meaning in something that was written by men, then go hard. When there's a Book of God, then maybe the rest of us will follow, so if you're going to quote the Bible, at least get the quote right.

Do you ever wonder why people are hypocrites and don’t quote the bible correctly? So you’re saying if we all follow the bible you’ll be happy?
The Bible says clearly that sex with a prostitute is acceptable for the husband but not for the wife. Polygamy (more than one wife) is acceptable, as is a king's having many concubines. (Solomon, the wisest king of all, had 1,000 concubines.) Slavery and sex with slaves, marriage of girls aged 11-13, and treatment of women as property are all accepted practices in the Scriptures. On the other hand, there are strict prohibitions against interracial marriage, birth control, discussing or even naming a sexual organ, and seeing one's parents nude.
Over the centuries people who misunderstood or misinterpreted the Bible have done terrible things. The Bible has been misused to defend bloody crusades and tragic inquisitions; to support slavery, apartheid, and segregation; to persecute Jews and other non-Christian people of faith; to support Hitler's Third Reich and the Holocaust; to oppose medical science; to condemn interracial marriage; to execute women as witches; and to support the Ku Klux Klan. Shakespeare said it this way: "Even the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."

No not really.
I do wonder though why some people presume that everyone follows such an old text.....and why they take one paragraph for absolute truth when there is many that are over looked.

For the same reason that those of your kind continue to eat shellfish, cut your hair, wear clothes made from more than one material and, for the men, play football (aka pigskin).
